People Movements in the Punjab (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Penned in the mid-1970s, People Movements in the Punjab gives an accurate analysis of the history of the church in the Punjab. After spending 12 years ministering in Pakistan, the authors set about finding the answers to the following questions:

· What caused the church in the Punjab to grow from the 1880s into the first half of the 20th century?

· Which missionary methods were effective, and which were ineffective?

· What segments of society proved responsive?

· Are any of these factors part of the present-day scene?

Based on primary sources, including church and mission records, missionary and national leaders' biographies, and census reports, the author's well-written research provides a profound view of the churches' growth in the Punjab.

The book includes a substantial appendix, "A Brief Comparative Study of Other Churches in Pakistan," which gives a wealth of information. And although this study is based on the growth of the church in Pakistan, the pattern of development and church growth principles apply to scores of areas on the Indian subcontinent as well. This authentic church history has great relevance for the church and her leaders today.

Autorenporträt

Frederick and Margaret Stock began their ministry in the Punjab by developing Bible Institutes, youth work, stewardship programs, and literacy classes. They then moved to Hyderabad to survey evangelistic opportunities among Scheduled Castes, where they explored more effective means of evangelism and church growth among these responsive peoples.

Rev. Stock earned a Master of Theology from Princeton Theological Seminary and an MA in Missiology from Fuller Seminary. Mrs. Stock earned a Masters of Religious Education from Biblical Seminary. Margaret's grandfather, W. T. Anderson, was the first in their family to serve in India, starting in 1891. Since that time, more than seventy relatives of Margaret's have lived, served, or died in India/Pakistan. The Stocks retired from ministry in Pakistan in 2010 and are now living with their daughter in Albania.
